Just watched this GameTrailers.com video highlighting the evolution of id Software games through the years — from Commander Keen to RAGE. More than anything, the video reminded me of how blown away I was by Wolfenstein. Buried in storage somewhere, there’s a a Wolfenstein “movie” I made when I was 13 — combining gameplay footage and live-action nonsense in my backyard (from an FPS viewpoint, of course).

Quake 1 is still one of the best first-person shooters ever: creative, unique level design (that is still hard to rival), crazy combat, great score – all around a top-notch production. i used to give it a play through every couple of years, just to get back to some roots.
